Record Priced Pierro Colt Wins Jumpout

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday June 6
The highest priced yearling from the first crop of Golden Slipper winner Pierro is yet to race, but showed in a jumpout at Caulfield on Tuesday morning that he may have something serious to offer.

Prepared by Mick Price, Plato has been given plenty of time to mature and showed good natural talent in his 650 metre jumpout on the inside grass.

Fitted with blinkers, Plato jumped fast for Mark Zahra and went straight to the front before cruising away down the running to win by a big margin in a promising display.

Watch the jumpout here.

Plato as a yearlingA $1.5 million Magic Millions purchase for Coolmore Australia from the Segenhoe Stud draft, Plato is a half-brother to Group I ATC Golden Slipper winner Vancouver and Group I winner Juste Moment as well as handy stakes-winner Captain Coltish.

Bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds, Plato is the last foal of celebrated producer Skates, who died in 2015, but has left a considerable legacy as the dam of 10 foals to race all winners.

Plato will be looking to keep her record perfect when he makes his debut in coming weeks.

Standing at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $49,500, Pierro is the leading Australian first season sire and chases Group I success this weekend with his classy colt Pierata to run in the Group I BRC JJ Atkins Stakes.
